Are there keystrokes that will enter the current time within a cell? For example, "control + ;" will enter the current date. I know this is possible in the Windows environment.

Haven't you been tempted to try other key combinations, such as "Option + ;"
or "Option + Control + ;" or "Command + ;" or "Command + Shift + ;" or
"Control + Shift + ;"? If you had you'd have found that the last three give
the desired result. Wrong key combinations are not going to explode the
computer. Be brave.

The Help system also has the answer to this question. Search for "entering
time".

Thanks! "Command + ;" worked.
